Labor Day became an official holiday in 1885, when the first movements to legalize the holiday were put into motion. Since it remains unknown who exactly came up with the idea for Labor Day, it’s fair game to guess that perhaps a dog helped to inspire the idea; after all, dogs are incredibly hard-working, and happy while doing it.
You might be wondering, what sorts of jobs do dogs really have? Dogs can have all sorts of jobs, you never know, one day a working dog might help you.
Police use K-9 dogs to help catch criminals and keep the public safe, hospitals hire dogs as therapy workers, and dogs help farmers herd livestock. Search and rescue dogs save lives all of the time, as well as thousands of dogs working alongside the military.
Those that have a dog or two working alongside them don’t know what they would do without them, after all no human has the same capabilities as a dog. Do you know anyone that walks on two legs and can smell a bomb? I sure don’t!
Dogs all over the world work all kinds of jobs, and don’t do it for money but because they are our true friends. Dogs are incredibly loyal and caring, just give them food, water, shelter, and a few kisses and they are happy to be your best friend and enjoy doing whatever you ask.
Even if your dog lives a pampered life as the family pet, they are still working hard. It’s a proven fact that dog owners live longer than non-dog owners.
So, while paying tribute to all of the working people this Labor Day, don’t forget to pay tribute to all of the service dogs out there too. They work hard everyday to keep the world safe and full of smiles. Don’t forget to thank your own canine either, after all they work hard to keep you healthy and happy everyday of the year.
